Description
-
This image is illustrated in a chapter that discusses the Christian priests in the colonial government in Peru. This image depicts a parish priest standing in the centre of the image while he receives a blessing from the saints Peter and Paul, who are illustrated standing beside him. Saint Paul is depicted holding a sword to represent his martyrdom – he was beheaded. Saint Peter is depicted holding a key to represent his access to the kingdom of heaven and his papal authority. The author criticizes the parish priests of Peru by saying they did not act in a blessed way. Instead, they were focused on money and greed and sins of the flesh.
